Scott's Journal

So some of you might have noticed that there’s been no Broken Wing updates lately, and there’s a really good reason for that: Our boy James Pantuso has been trying to balance between going to school and finishing up a handful of other artist gigs that can go into his portfolio without making him seem like a crazy person. (“Why do you have so many pictures of robots punching each other in the face?!”)But recently James received an assignment in class to produce a stand-alone eight page graphic novel, and he asked me if we could do it Broken Wing-related, and further asked me to write it. Given that it’s a short subject, I figured I’d write down my process in case anybody else happened to find that sort of thing interesting.So because this is a school project, I told James that I wanted to take a relative backseat in terms of the general story arc and whatnot. My plan was that James could plot the whole thing out and I would just throw the dialogue and composition in to make it look a little more interesting on paper. James, on the other hand, gave me the go ahead to do whatever I felt was best, however not before adding this suggestion:“we could do like.. a prototype frame, blasting a bunch of shit and it could be the pilot describing and relishing in the power of it”
